Quick Plug: Aruneus is a Pathfinder RPG setting in development in which the most recent apocalypse was of the zombie variety. Almost all fantasy RPG worlds are really post-apocalypse worlds (dangerous mutated creatures skitter about blasted wastelands, kingdoms build on the ruins of ancient civilizations war, "heroes" go scavanging for various high-powered artifacts, etc.), but it's interesting to see a(n ironically fresh) zombie take on it.

Unrelated: This is the kind of gun I would build if I was in Inception. That may not make sense to you, but I have a lot of tetris dreams.

If you drew a G-rated comic strip for forty years, you'd also start sending your publisher some filthy sex gags, even if you know they'll get shot down. Such is the case with Mort Walker's Beetle Baily and a recent finnish collection of said strips.

This artist took modern day electronic goods and reimagined them as products of the 1970s. It's well done, and the results look like something that could have been marketed (and created) in that decade. My only nitpick is the overuse of fake wood paneling, as you really don't see much of it on electronic products of the day (unless they were marketed to the older generation). Oh, and the magazine blurbs are hilarious.

issendai has a guide to keeping someone with you forever via unhealthy relationships (be it family, lover, employer). It all boils down to a couple things that cults and pyramid schemes have known for centuries, and although I'm sure most of you reading this are not in a "sick system", you may know someone who needs this information.

I keep forgetting that Red vs. Blue still exists, but I'm glad someone from S_D posted the most recent video. It's an impressive ensemble action sequence for anything, but especially a Machinima. I don't think I've seen a fight that uses the environment so well since old-school Jackie Chan.

Do you need a new free indie game to play? Here's 235 to choose from. Yoinked from here, where there's another video with 190 games in development.

The strange case of the Writer Who Couldn't Read. This is why I find neuroscience fascinating.

A centaur met a mermaid, as he trotted by the sea; She noticed not his heavy hooves, nor he her single knee, As they lingered there, expelling time with heart-inspired chatter The direction of their love so strong ... bottoms didn’t matter!

I've been playing Hero Core on hard mode, which despite what you may think, is hella hard. But the game itself is super fun and manages to combine some of the best features of modern free-roaming environments with minimalist blocky bits. Plus, it won't take forever and a day to beat.

Similarly, I've only played a tiny bit of Hydorah, a Spanish-created side-scrolling shooter with a lot of heart and advancement on classical SHUMPS. I also recommend it, although it too is a mucho challenge.

Holy crap this movie. I was in love with My Science Project during middle school, when I uncovered it in a local rental shop's "cheap" section. Gotta rewatch it.

Super Mario Bros. Crossover, built from scratch by a dude who taught himself programing so he could make this game is exactly the kind of game you make when you want to make a game so bad you teach yourself programing to do so. The vision here was very clear. Also, beating Super Mario Bros as Samus is hella fun. And Link is shockingly good in X-4 levels. Plus, it's just fun to run through a level of flying fish, gunning everything down Contra-style.

Hero Core also released this week, by the creator of Iij. If the Atari had never ceased production, this is the game that would have resulted. Also if it had babies with Metroid.

And short, minimalist platformer Love has a demo for the new version, which will hopefully drop soon. And a level creator!
